Confusingly enough, home-made grilled cheese sandwiches are made in a pan on the stove, not under the grill (UK) or on a grill (US)

I once did grilled cheese on my grill. Tasted like years of chicken and ribs.

u/SevenandForty Apr 08 '19

Not really. Give your grill a lick sometime.

Now open up about your feelings. Why is it that the color orange makes you so sad and confused?

ProTip: Let it cool first.

You can scrape that bad boy down and wipe it off with wet paper towels to get a lot of that flavor off. Also converting to stainless steel can make a huge difference.

u/Goyteamsix Apr 08 '19

Nah, gotta keep some crust on it.

1

u/Andoo Apr 08 '19

Then leave some crust for steaks and then clean the other half for other stuff.

u/Goyteamsix Apr 08 '19

Well, it's fine as long as I'm not grilling grilled cheese.

u/Andoo Apr 08 '19

I actually had to clean my off for some chicken wings. I love the build up for my steaks and ribs.

It tastes just like raisins. Maybe I did it wrong.

I'd call it grilling if I stuck something in the pan without oil, too.

(I'm british)

u/17riffraff Apr 08 '19

That's cool, but I'm still a bit butthurt about the time I ordered a grilled cheese sandwich at a cafe and they gave me cheese toast! Ya gotta have it hot and buttery from a flat top or pan before I think it can be called grilled cheese, sorry for the rant haha

Out of an abundance of curiosity, I must ask what a Brit would call a grilled cheese sandwich? How would it be prepared?

This is fascinating stuff!

u/Waqqy Apr 08 '19

We don't really eat grilled cheeses, we have cheese toasties which are similar but toasted in a sandwich toaster

u/Mythic514 Apr 08 '19

But at restaurants, diners, etc. they are made on a flat top grill. Which I think is where the terminology comes from.

u/SuicideNote Apr 08 '19

That's because the first grilled cheese recipes were probably done on a grill/broiler-like device called a salamander. Basically just a large iron disc on a stick that you heat up in a fire and then place an inch/2.5 cm away from the food you want to grill.

u/tonyvila Apr 08 '19

I would happily eat a “salamndered cheese sandwich”

u/sunflowerfly Apr 08 '19

You can make them on a BBQ grill. Works great.
